To prospective chip designers Parallel computation allows us to calculate more in a given time than is possible with a single processor. Due to the large number of calculations, the number system used is pivotal in the obtainable accuracy of the result. The level-index and symmetric level index number representations are two number systems that are proposed to replace the floating point number system for calculations involving large numbers as well as large numbers of operations. What is still lacking in comparison with the floating point system is fast implementations, which, most likely, will be based on CORDIC transformations. We are looking for competitive designs for either the level index or the symmetric level index number system. For further information, please contact Dr. Theodore Omtzigt Intel Corporation, Inc.
